Boring inclusions such as keys, Blackberry, hairbands and tissues from Paperchase aside, my most exciting new addition is a matching mint green card holder from Whistles – the perfect home for my Oyster seeing as I’m a full-time Londoner now. For my face I’m keeping it simple by just having the Collection 2000 Illuminating Concealer on standby – dark circles, ruddy complexion be gone. A sample of the YSL Shocking Mascara I have hanging around and the double-ended Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Liner in Zero and Whiskey will hopefully come in handy if I fancy adding a touch of extra definition. And for lips – two choices of course, the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 02 if I want to give some gloss or the Burberry Lip Cover in Cameo – my go to ‘nude but natural’ shade. Oh and a rollerball perfume always makes the cut – Fresh Brown Sugar EDP this time.

Glad-rags on (keep an eye on my Instagram – ViviannaMakeup – for a peek, and check out the preview of my shoes, Whistles Mai Tai Suede Courts in black – swoon!), hair jusched, long-wear makeup applied, clutch packed I think I’m ready. So, good luck to all the lucky nominees and let the party, I mean awards (ahem) begin!

P.S) A recent 25% Whistles code that came in Grazia last week is to blame for the mid-week haul. It was dangerous.
